Abstract
The effect of bonding temperature on the bonding strength of polyethylene to polypropylene or other polymers was investigated. It became clear that the interfacial bonding strength reached maximum strength at a bonding temperature in the vicinity of the melting point of the adherend (i.e., the polymer having the higher melting point). The effect of temperature on the contact angle of the molten polymer having the lower melting point on the adherend surface was also investigated. The wettability of the adherend by the molten polymer drop was considerably reduced at the temperature near the melting point of the adherend. The relationship of increasing adhesiveness to decreasing wettability was found out.
